Netizen Soldiers: Marines Using Craigslist To Attract Recruits

At a time when the U.S. military is struggling to meet recruiting goals, Marine recruiters on Long Island are turning to the popular Craiglist Web site to boost flagging recrutiment efforts, WCBS 880's Mike Xirinachs reports.
The site operators are taking the new development in stride.
"We're an open site, available to anyone acting honestly," said site founder Craig Newmark told WCBS 880.com in reply to an e-mail seeking comment.
"It's also important to support the troops, particularly when the White House undermines them by actions such as reducing their health benefits," he noted.
